Kodai Naraoka wins China Masters men's singles title

After making two runner-up finishes and four semifinal finishes, Kodai Naraoka, the 22-year-old emerging star from Japan, has finally won his maiden World Tour title in 2023. 

He won the men's singles title at China Masters Super 750 by beating compatriot Kenta Nishimoto 21-13, 21-13 in 52 minutes in the final. 

The last and first title that he won was the Vietnam Open Super 100, not a World Tour-level tournament, in 2022.
